Qualcomm® Flight Pro™ Development Kit
Last Time Buy

The Qualcomm® Flight Pro Development Kit targets the drone and robotics development community and is based on the powerful Snapdragon 820, with its high-end imaging and signal processing capabilities. The new Qualcomm® Flight Pro board is smaller than a credit card (75x36mm) and brings together photography, video, navigation, and communication technologies on a single board.

The Flight Pro Kit includes the Flight Pro Development Board, a 5V DC power supply and power cord, serial console adapter, power adapter board, and a USB to serial cable. The Flight Pro Kit does not include the airframe, motor controller, motors, propellers, or radio control receiver. If you intend to use this kit as a starting point for building a flyable drone you will need to purchase additional hardware components from other vendors and assemble it yourself.

Qualcomm® Flight Pro™ Development Kit Overview

Optional Accessories
Before you purchase the Qualcomm® Flight Pro™ Development Kit, please be aware of the following:
  • The Flight Pro Kit is for users with advanced skills in software, electronic and mechanical assembly – it is not a ready-to-fly drone. It is intended as a development platform for evaluation, testing, and development of products using the Qualcomm® Flight Pro platform.
  • The Flight Pro Kit requires the purchase of additional 3rd party hardware to build a flyable drone.
  • The Flight Pro Kit does not include flight control software – this is available from the Qualcomm® Developer Network website
  • The Flight Pro Kit currently only supports the Electronic Speed Controller sold by Lantronix
